(3) K-3 Illustrated by Julia Kuo. A young Taiwanese American girl explains how her family members show their love. Keico A-ma (her grandma) expresses love through cooking, and Julie A-ma through teaching her piano and praying for their family. Her mama “lovingly cuts platters of fruit,” and Gene A-gong (grandpa) provides “gentle pats” on the back. Chung’s soothing text is enhanced by Kuo’s digital illustrations that capture tender interactions between the narrator and her family.
